The, sloti-gnard device is completed by means of a resilient thin spring-metal member 12 which is bent into U-form and. secured to the member 11 by means of a clenchinglug 11 vided withv a. pain-of resilient. tongues 12 which normally lie against the plate and whose. extremitiesextendthrough the spaces between the lugs 11 andlacross,the coin slot 10 asappears from Fig. '10..

Aitone sideof the slot. 11?, the metal is shirredand bent to; form a flange-11 The flange 11? is .cutaway at the;points 11 these points. being, opposite the. catcheprojections 11 pair offilletl-plates 13' and 14, provided; respectively, with recesses 13 'and1 are mounted in the, disk 1114' The. fillet-plates are provided with projections. which engage theqrecesseslli.

The improved savings bank may be manufactured, cheaply-, and is extremely durable.

What I regard as new, and desir el'to secure by Letters Patent, is:

1. A savings bank closure comprising an outer plate provided with a coil-slot; an inner. plate having an upturned peripheral flange abutting against the outer plate and spacing said plates, said inner plate being provided with acoin-slot and with upturned lugs adjacent thereto; means connecting said plates rigidly together; and a slot-guard comprising a U shape platehaving a shank secured to'said inner plate and having resilient arms adjacent theinner surface of theouter plate extending across the coin-slot of the outerplate and workingin the spacesbetween saidlugs.

QLA- closure as spec1fied in claim I, in which the innerplate is provided also with lugs projectingbeyondsaid upturned lugs and disposed ata distance'bel'owthecoin slbt of the oiiterplate.

3. A savings bank closure comprising an outer plate providedwi-th a coin-slot; an in ner substantially parall'el plate spaced-from the first mentioned plate and provided with a coin-slot somewhat out of registrationwwith said first-mentioned ooin-slot ymeans securing'said plates rigidly together; a sliot'eguard comprising a U 'shape plat-e havinga' shank portion secured te -said innen plate and having resilient arms extending across said first mentioned?coin slot; and upwardly project-L ingl'ugs-'carried-by said' inner plate, saidilugs being spaced to permit saidresilient-arms to Work between them.

1. A closure as specified in claim 3, in which the inner plate 'is-equipped also with lugs which project beyond said upwardly extending lugs and underlie the extremities oi said resilient arms.

5; A closurecomprising anouterplate; an inner-plate spaced therefrolnand rigidly so cured thereto, said inner plate being equipped near one edge-with a bolt guide and a;fiange back of' said" guide; lock confined between said plates comprising); a plate-like bolt h'av ingits rear end equipped with an unturned flange, a leaf spring interposedbetween said flanges, fillets interposed between said bolt and- 'tlie outer plate; and a key' ba'rrel jour naled in'tlie outer and inner plates and ex"- ten'ding-through said fillets and :boltrf 6.. A closure as specified in? claim 5, in which the =-flan ge back" of: the guide constitutes a:- wall of coin -sl'ot' through theclosure:
